The Town of Valdese just got safer! Check out the new 75 foot ladder truck! The new truck will replace the 1985 model truck that has a 50 foot ladder. In addition to the increased ladder height, the new truck carries an increased amount of pre-connected hose (provides for faster deployment of hoselines). It also provides increased amount of equipment compartments and is a multi-purpose truck - Ladder, Pumper, Rescue component and medical component. The new truck will make its debut in the Valdese Christmas Parade on December 2nd at 10am.
